Microorganisms are the cause of disease is everywhere, in the air, on food and beverages, in animals and other surfaces. If our immune system is weak and we are dealing with organisms whose immunity has not owned body, we can become sick.

There are several types of disease-causing organisms, from bacteria, viruses, bacteria, fungi or worms. Actually, what’s the difference?

Germ

Germs are very layman’s terms identical to the bacteria, namely single-celled organisms that can only be seen with the aid of a microscope. When the infectious bacteria enter the body, the numbers will increase and potentially produce a number of powerful chemicals, called toxins, which can destroy certain cells in tissues that attacked so that makes us sick.

Not all bacteria can be harmful to the body. Some bacteria that live in the body, such as the intestine and mouth actually can be beneficial for the body. Diseases caused by bacteria such as pneumonia, acne, sore throat, cholera, etc., can be treated with antibiotics.

Virus

When attacking the human body, the virus enters a cell body and masters it, ordered the cell “hosts” to produce the parts needed to reproduce themselves. In the process, the host cell eventually is eradicated. Polio, HIV / AIDS, influenza, measles is a disease caused by a virus and its treatment with antiviral.

Mushrooms

Single-celled organisms are slightly larger than bacteria. Actually, the fungus is not contagious, but there are certain types that can be transmitted, such as Candida. Candida can cause thrush or canker sores. Meanwhile, fungi become the biggest cause of diaper rash that causes the infection.

Worms

When this type of parasite or eggs entering the human body, usually he would stay in the intestinal tract, lung, liver, skin, or brain, and the life of existing nutrients in the human body.
